glenn mccrory in court

[SeanBrennan]

You know in a lot of these cases its 100% the police at fault , Without going into too much detail long story , i put someone on too a lawyer , the case got draged and dragged , to a high court , because instead of giving in and pleading guilty he never,, he fought it , a guilty plea would of meant a conviction recorded and cost him his job.

Anyway on court day , the head /chief prosecutor whatever he's called , took over the case , offered virtually nothing , he got a bollocking of the judge for wasting courts time , , the lawyer , jumped up and asked for costs , and a reimbursment of costs , all awarded , with a telling off to the prosecutor ,

Anyway i was on first term names with the lawyer , and after i said to him its crazy , why did they take it so far , , he said to me , simple hrs in court , explain i asked and he said , it was a juniour prosecutor looking at building up her court hrs , and thats why she would'nt drop it even though she knew it was a bullshit no win case , once it went to a higher court her boss stepped in , and conceded it was bullshit ,

The lawyer who was'nt a mate just someone i had done a lot of work for said , thats the way it goes and it goes alll the time . he said on looking into it there had been 20 plus convictions for the same thing , but this was the first time ANYONE had actually fought it , others had all just copped a conviction and paid the fine with no fight .

OK i've gone this far if youv'e bothered to read i'll tell you . Market stall , near xmas , guy on market stall who happenned to be a ex cop anyway , was selling plastic toy guns , but because they fired little foam beans over 3 foot , you had to supply name adress , when you bought one they were bright orange , plastic things .

Anyway after he bought 3 one each for his kids some months after they were made illigal because they fired a projectile , foam bean or not ,, fast forward months , ploice visit stall holder , get the adress off everyone who boght one and commence going to there houses , they asked if he owned them he said sure there in the toy box 2 actually broke , they confiscate him and charge him with possesion of illigal firearms .

Joke right , yeh except a conviction for firearms of any sort would cost him his job , so he pleaded not guilty coud'nt afford a lawyer and felt he was in deep deep shit , he was worried for months , i camer to the rescue , i done a job for the lawyer and come to an agreement represent him no charge jobs free , he done me a favor all was good ,

But the whole lot was caused by an exurbrent juniour prosecutor looking to up her court hrs , fooking disgrace

thanks for sharing. That is horrific isn't it, all to pad out a barrister's career!

Fookin eck…. What a disgrace…. I’m or surprised however considering how corrupt, incompetent, spiteful etc the police, CPS and whole justice system is.

Imagine wasting all that time for some toys FFS I hate the system

[Stevieaber]

Lack of common sense by whichever force made the arrest and a lack of integrity by the prosecutor, as simple as that, but ‘churning’ has been a long standing legal tactic.

Keep driving away at a case, raising irrelevant points, causing senseless delays etc just to wear someone done. Prosecutors have done it here, defending briefs do it to cut away at the resolve of witnesses and complainants. It’s a f*****g joke.

[Coco]

Nowadays the victim must be believed in cases such as this

[Stevieaber]

Yeah, I know what you mean, I’d just drifted off into the bit about the plastic guns.
Glens case would always end in an interview under caution now, but fail to see how it could end up being passed to go forward by the CPS. “Flimsy” is kind to the evidence offered.

[tony1234]

The less time the jury takes , the less believable the evidence produced in front of them. Telling they didn't take long to clear him

[banjo]

Pathetic, really. Waste of time, let alone going to Court.

A certain 'Prince' can do whatever and blatantly lie about it, clearly and the Plod told us, outright, they would do nothing, let alone take it to Court and the scummy perv is back in the circle and the matter 'forgotten'.

What wonderful times we live in.....

Yet the police go all out to catch people who cut down a sycamore tree

[cormack]

I wonder if Glenn gets his media jobs back ....

Not that he was particularly outstanding in anyway - so not so different to lots of boxing commentators .

[SeanBrennan]

I remember him being involved in Boxing Social at the beginning, quite liked him on that. I hope no mud sticks and he can carry on a normal life.

[coneye]

Unfortunatly it will stick , he,ll probbably be thought off hasc a lecherous old pisshead

[1328613]

Unfortunatly it will stick , he,ll probbably be thought off hasc a lecherous old pisshead

he should be fine to get into politics.

glad common sense prevailed

[Steveh583]

Its terrible it went to court - how is calling someone `pet` and touching their elbow whilst speaking to them in public anyways seen as sexual?

Its about time anonymity is given to people accused of such things, in the same way as those identified as victims are given anonymity.

Also - those found to be making untrue allegations should be identified as those found to be guilty of such crimes. Because being innocent but accused of such crimes can be as life destroying.

Unfortunately Glenn McCrory will have sustained a substantial amount of pain already from this.

the accusation is the punishment
